Samuel Alito’s wife flew a white Christian nationalist flag at her vacation property. That same flag that was flown by violent insurrectionists on January 6th. Senator Josh Hawley, who ran away from that mob like the “masculine” man that he is, just admitted he is a Christian nationalist and declared the United States to be a “Christian nation.”
Project 2025, the blueprint for the second Trump Administration, is created in part by a small coterie of conservatives who are committed to recreating the United States as a Christian nationalist theocracy. Meanwhile, the state of Louisiana wants the Ten Commandments displayed in every public school in the state.
Who needs the Constitution, the separation of church and state, and pluralism when you can live in the real-life Handmaid’s Tale? It’s a utopia for white, straight, Christian, Republican men and a living hellscape for the rest of us.
It’s a mask off moment.
Unfortunately, why should corporate media talk about this real threat to our democracy when it can concentrate on the Presidential debate instead?
Thankfully, I talk to lawyer and activist Andrew Seidel, author of American Crusade: How The Supreme Court Is Weaponizing Religious Freedom, who has spent a decade researching and fighting white Christian nationalism. He explains why he considers it to be one of the greatest threats to American democracy.
Grab a chai and get informed.
